Nikki Webster turns 30<\/strong><\/p>\n

The former child star plans her big musical comeback after 17 years<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s been almost two decades since petite and wide-eyed Nikki Webster wowed the crowds at the Sydney 2000 Olympics opening ceremony, flying high above spectators in a pink dress.<\/p>\n

Now, Woman’s Day<\/em> can reveal a stunt for the Sunrise weather team last week – which saw Nikki re-record her chart-topping hit Strawberry Kisses<\/em> – is just the start of a career resurgence for the iconic singer and dancer.<\/p>\n

Not only has the song, which spent seven weeks at the top of the charts in 2001, found a new generation of fans, but Nikki is hoping it’s the catalyst for the next phase in her career.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“I’m all for Nikki 2.0, bring it on!” the singer, who turns 30 on April 30, tells Woman’s Day<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“I’ve written some new stuff. It’s just a matter of trying to work out the right time for me to release it.”<\/p>\n

Nikki has been quietly collaborating with several producers in Nashville on her upcoming pop-driven tracks. And with some work engagements in the US over the net two weeks, she hopes to make more progress on the songs.<\/p>\n

“I like to create more work for myself,” she admits. “I had a busy childhood, so I don;t really know any different.”<\/p>\n

Along for the trip to the US is Skylah, her three-year-old daughter with husband Matthew McMah. And Nikki says she’s thrilled to include her little girl in her new musical journey.<\/p>\n

“Skylah stars in the clip for Strawberry Kisses<\/em>! It was so nice to be able to include her in the project 17 years on,” the pround mum says.<\/p>\n

“She loves the song – she walks to the shops singing it. I promise I didn’t make her do that!”<\/p>\n

As well as a love for the catchy song, the pair share a passion for performing. Nikki owns three dance studios in NSW and Skylah is a talented pupil.<\/p>\n

“She loves the stage. It’s like she switches on and she’s a different kid. That was very much like me when I was a kid. My first musical was at five.”<\/p>\n

Nikki says she’d happily see Skylah follow in her footsteps. “As long as she works hard and is determined, I’ll be behind her every step of the way.”<\/p>\n
